The aim of this study was to compare the biofilm formation on three types of dental crown materials using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) driven bioluminescence as an innovative tool for the rapid chairside enumeration of oral bacteria and assessment of oral hygiene. The study group included 60 patients with fixed prosthodontics, made of three types of dental crown materials (BioHpp - Bredent, Ceramics - VITA VMK Master, and Zirconia - Vita In-Ceram) from which we have collected 60 specimen values using a luciferase-based assay system (system SURE II). The values of ATP were obtained with System SURE II device and statistically analyzed with Anova and Wilcoxon Test. The lowest value was shown for Zirconia, comparing with ceramics and BioHpp, but in time we have seen the increase of ATP for all three dental crown materials.

Aim: The study was planned to assess the effect of a mouthrinse containing Chlorhexidine (CHX) and amine/stannous fluoride (AmF) on plaque accumulation, gingivitis and salivary fluoride levels in comparison with two mouthrinses containing either essential oils (EO) or cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) with sodium fluoride (NaF) in a teenage group. Methodology: For this study 82 healthy teenage between 13 and 16 years were recruited for participation. The experimental gingivitis model consisted of a 2-weeks recruitment phase, followed by a 6-day rinsing period with one of the 4 mouthrinse formulations was used for the study. At the end of the pre-phase period and the rinsing period (Day-0/Day-6), gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI) and salivary fluoride levels were recorded. The statistical analyses were performed using Wilcoxon sign test  and the dependent t test. Results: A reduction in plaque re-growth was seen for the CHX+AmF formulation rinse, although there were no significant differences among all groups (p>0,001). During the experimental periods, the gingivitis indices increased significantly for all formulations (p<0,001), except for the CHX+AmF formulation. The CHX+AmF formulation scored higher levels of salivary fluoride at the end of the rinsing period (p>0,001). Conclusion: It reveals that the adjunctive use of AmF containing CHX mouthrinses to mechanical oral hygiene should be recommended for teenage at risk groups.  How to cite this article: Atabek D, Alaçam A, Çakılcı B, Berkkan A.

Implants have been around for many years already, having a lot of advantages and high success rates, by some authors even higher than 90%. Nevertheless, throughout the years, problems and failures have occurred in practice which led to bone loss around the implants and even, in some cases, to losing the implant itself. The phenomenon behind this pathological process -peri-implantitis - is believed to be the microleakage which occurs at the implant-abutment interface.This happens due to the existence of a gap present between the implant and the prosthetic abutment. Moreover, the microleakage is amplified because of the, so called, pumo effect. The pump effect occurs when the crown-abutment complex is subjected to occlusal, vertical and oblique, forces. During these micro-movements of the abutment, the microleakage intensifies and the bacteria can easily enter inside the implant, where is impossible to reach and remove through oral hygiene, thus, creating the perfect conditions for peri-implantitis. There are two major types of implant-abutment connections widely used nowadays -internal hex and conical -which are believed to influence the phenomenon and, so, the outcome. In the present study, both types of connections are tested, using Streptococcus Mutans, a common bacteria found in the oral cavity.
